Is this photoshop? Some out take from a futuristic movie? A picture from a time traveler?

No.. It a single solar farm in Long Island. It outputs on average of 44,000,000 kilowatt-hours a year which is enough to power 4,500 homes. The electric produced doesn't disappear into a magical black hole, it gets used everyday. In fact it's a pretty damn good chance that electric you are using right now has partially been created by solar unless you live in a hole under a rock..

This is a picture of a single solar farm in the US but there are hundreds just like it all over the country.

I can see why green energy has such a hard time in this country. People are far to ignorant about it and have no clue what is going on in the world around them.


This is a website from a homeowner in Maine whom has built a house powered by solar. It's a big house and he keeps detailed records of his usage all the way back to 2011.

I just don't get people denying something that is used everyday as if it's some far off technology or a massive problem like sending men to mars.. It's not people live via solar power every day, right now.
